Step One - Immediate Supervisor Clause Samples
The 'Step One - Immediate Supervisor' clause establishes the initial stage of a grievance or dispute resolution process, requiring that concerns be first presented to the employee's direct supervisor. Typically, this means that an employee must formally communicate their issue to their immediate manager, who is then responsible for addressing or attempting to resolve the matter within a specified timeframe. This clause ensures that problems are addressed at the lowest possible level, promoting efficient resolution and minimizing escalation to higher management or formal proceedings.

The discussion with the immediate supervisor shall be held with one of the following:
A. The employee accompanied by a Union representative;
B. The Union representative alone if the employee so requests;
C. The employee alone on their behalf. Within ten (10) workdays after the grievance is filed or the discussion meeting concludes, whichever is later, the immediate supervisor shall state their decision, in writing, together with the supporting reasons, and shall furnish one (1) copy to the employee who filed the grievance, one (1) copy to the business agent, and one (1) copy to the Director, Labor Relations.
